this suit is so sexy...b/c of this i recommend the black, as the orange pushes it a little over the edge. i am 5''7", 145 lbs, and a typical pear shape and a 36B. i have a little tummy from my pregnancy 2 years ago. i didn''t want a bikini b/c of that, but seriously, this suit is WAY more sexy than any bikini...it shows off all the perfect areas. and it''s done in a way that people aren''t used to seeing, which is why it''s sexier than a bikini. LOVE THIS SUIT.
